The Problem

Setting Up in Singapore Looks Simple — Until You Start.

Businesses and entrepreneurs looking to establish or expand into Singapore run into the same wall, over and over.

  • Limited guidance on how to actually incorporate or expand into Singapore.
  • Confusion about incorporation procedures and regulatory requirements.
  • Uncertainty over which company and ownership structure fits your objectives.
  • Concern about keeping up with ongoing legal, regulatory, tax and compliance obligations.
  • Difficulty finding a trusted, reliable local partner who can actually support you on the ground.
  • Language and communication barriers navigating business and regulatory matters.
  • Frustration coordinating multiple service providers just to get one thing done.

Where most prospects start

Most prospects start by asking friends or business contacts, or searching within China for a provider — without a way to judge who can actually be trusted.

Some engage the wrong provider and lose time and money with little progress. Others go to a law firm as the "safe" choice, only to find the fees far higher than expected.

For most, the real problem isn't any one step — it's not knowing where to begin, what needs to happen, or in what order.

How It Works

From First Conversation to Fully Operational — in Three Steps.

1

Consultation & Document Preparation

We review your business activities, shareholder and director structure, and complete the required KYC and compliance checks. We explain exactly what Singapore requires and prepare the documentation with you.

2

Incorporation & Bank Account Opening

Once everything is in order, we register your company with ACRA and support your corporate bank account application — including through our working channel with OCBC.

As fast as 3 working days
3

Ongoing Support, on a 12-Month Roadmap

Beyond incorporation, you receive a clear 12-month roadmap covering your key corporate, regulatory and compliance requirements — what's due, when, and who's supporting you.

Single point of contact
Registration itself can move quickly once everything is ready — but KYC, compliance checks, and (for foreign-owned companies) local director arrangements and overseas document verification have to be completed properly first. We move as fast as those checks allow, not faster.
What Changes

What Your Business Looks Like Afterwards.

Less time lost to admin

One point of contact instead of chasing multiple vendors.

Confidence you're compliant

A named 12-month roadmap tells you what's due and when.

A real Singapore presence

Local support instead of a purely China-based intermediary who's never dealt with ACRA directly.

A foundation that scales

From incorporation through Family Office structuring, HOC stays the same partner as your needs grow.

Corporate Solutions

What's Behind the Promise.

INC

Singapore Company Incorporation

So your entity is properly structured from day one.

CS

Company Secretary Services

So your statutory obligations are always met, without you tracking deadlines yourself.

ND

Nominee / Local Director Services

So you meet Singapore's resident-director requirement even without a local presence yet.

NS

Nominee Shareholder Arrangements

Where appropriate, subject to legal, regulatory and due diligence requirements.

ADV

Management Consulting & Advisory

So decisions about structure and growth are informed by people who've done this before.

SFO

Single Family Office Support

HNW structuring handled by a team that coordinates specialist partners where regulated investment expertise is required.

CMP

Corporate Compliance & Coordination

So you're not the one chasing multiple agencies.

GOV

Navigating Government Agencies

So the administrative maze becomes one coordinated process instead of five separate ones.

Fit

Who We Work Best With.

First-Time Entrepreneurs & SMEs

Mainland Chinese entrepreneurs and SMEs incorporating in Singapore for the first time.

Established Companies

Established Chinese companies expanding into Singapore or Southeast Asia.

Family Offices

High-net-worth individuals establishing a Single Family Office in Singapore.

Our clients value getting it right the first time — proper structuring, full compliance, and a team that stays with them past incorporation — over the lowest possible quote. If that's what you're looking for, we're a strong fit.

Testimonials

What Clients Say.

Setting up a foreign-owned company in Singapore can involve many unfamiliar requirements. Their support made the entire journey much easier to navigate.

ZA
Zheng AnRenovation Firm

HOC's corporate solutions have improved our business operations, mitigate business risks, and strengthen our systems and processes.

D
DesmondFamily Office

As a foreign business owner, we initially found Singapore's compliance requirements unfamiliar. HOC explained everything clearly and handled the process professionally.

SS
Shu SanLogistics Company

Their one-stop corporate solution saved us considerable time. Instead of speaking with different parties, we had one reliable contact coordinating everything.

DP
Dion PitaWholesale Company

We were looking for more than a company secretary. We wanted an advisor who could help us navigate Singapore's business environment, and that is exactly what we received.

LN
Li NaBeauty Salon

Having a single team supporting incorporation, compliance, and ongoing corporate matters gave us peace of mind when establishing our Singapore operations.

Why HOC

Why Businesses Choose HOC Over the Alternatives.

Who You'll Actually Be Working With

HOC is led by directors with deep hands-on experience in corporate administration, compliance, and business advisory — not a call center reading a script.

Jethro Yee, a Chartered Company Secretary (CGI, CSIS) and Chartered Compliance Professional, personally serves as HOC's Qualified Individual for its Registered Filing Agent activities.

Both directors are DPO-trained, reflecting how seriously HOC treats data handling for clients sharing sensitive corporate and personal information across a border.

"Your fees are higher than other providers."

Our fees reflect the scope of work, regulatory requirements, professional accountability, and level of support involved — not a race to the lowest price. If you have another quotation, we're glad to walk through the differences with you.

"Can you actually help set up the bank account?"

Yes — we assist directly with the OCBC corporate bank account application through our established working channel with OCBC, and help prepare and coordinate submission of the required documents. Final approval always rests with the bank's own KYC and risk assessment.

Friends and informal contacts don't carry professional accountability. Unverified China-based providers often don't have a real Singapore presence or direct ACRA/bank relationships. Law firms can do the job but typically at meaningfully higher fees for the same scope. HOC sits in between — professionally accountable, locally present, and priced for the scope of work.

FAQ

Questions Before You Reach Out.

Yes — we assist directly with OCBC corporate bank account applications through our established working channel with OCBC. We help prepare the documents and coordinate submission to reduce unnecessary delays. Final approval always rests with the bank's own KYC and risk review — we won't promise what isn't ours to promise.

Our fees reflect the scope of work, regulatory requirements, professional accountability, and level of support you receive — not the lowest possible price. Share your alternative quote and we'll walk through the differences and see where the scope can flex to fit your needs.

Yes, once your business activities, ownership structure, and KYC/compliance checks are confirmed, we can move quickly — incorporation in as fast as 3 working days from that point.

Singapore has its own incorporation, tax and compliance requirements, separate from China's. A China-based accountant or secretary generally isn't licensed or positioned to manage Singapore's ACRA and regulatory obligations directly — that's the gap HOC fills.

As a Registered Filing Agent, HOC is required to complete proper KYC and compliance checks before proceeding. It takes a little more upfront, but it protects you from delays, rejected applications, or compliance issues later.

We move as fast as the required checks allow. Registration with ACRA itself can happen quickly once everything is ready — but KYC, compliance checks, and (for foreign-owned companies) local director arrangements and overseas document verification need to be completed properly first. We'd rather do it right than promise a date we can't guarantee.

Start Your Singapore Business Journey With a Free Consultation.

We only take on a limited number of consultations each week, and setting up before the new financial year gives you a cleaner starting point for compliance and tax purposes. Let's talk while there's time to plan properly.
